Hello all I am new on android and on this board, and first of all i wanted to thank you for the work you do with anddev, it already help me a lot.

I'am developing an application which open a socket (TCP) to a server. I can read and write message. Now when the user turn the phone, the application is restarted. Usually, you can restore the app state with the bundle, but the socket is not Serialisable (course not).

I looked a little bit the Services, but i wanted to know if there were a way to save and restore the socket, without being forced to close and reopen the connection each time the user turn the phone ~_~ ?
